Default Does it look right?

I have recently noticed that front ends of covers/stripes that run along the roof do not firmly attached to the roof. Looks like someone tried to peel them off. Rear ends look okay. Brand new car with only 750 miles on it.
Before I start complaining about it I wonder if anyone has a similar issue. It just doesn't look right to me. Two first pictures show front ends and the last one the rear end. Thanks.

They don't always stay down very well but I would have those looked at by your dealer. They can do better. It was a bigger problem on the earlier models but I hadn't noticed it as much on the 2013's.

Aside for that, how do you like your new ES?

I bought it for my 60 mile commute (one way) and my decision was mostly based on a ride comfort and reliability records for this model. I like it very much so far. My commute is mostly highway and I finished the first tank with 30 mpg result.

Mine lie completely flush with the level of the roof. I can't tell you whether what you have is the result of careless manufacturing, whether they might have gotten pulled up when the vehicle was being washed, or whether there was pre-delivery damage that was repaired. but not well. In any case, I would certainly be showing that to the dealer and having it fixed.

Thanks lesz. I will definitely take it to my dealer. Let see their reaction...
